Happy New Year Everyone!
Hopefully everyone had a safe and successful conclusion to 2022 and are already plugged-in with resolutions for an even better 2023. We’ll have great times ahead and I’m looking forward to getting together on the 20th (more on that later). Please try to make plans to join us if your schedules allow. The challenge/opportunity for each of us this year is to get more involved in everything we do. Our “in-person” numbers have declined a bit; however, we all believe the new year will bring new life to the Chapter and we need everyone to make this belief a reality. By the way, thanks for everyone’s involvement last year with the ASSP. We rebounded post-covid nicely and have even enjoyed watching our Auburn Section and the WISE ladies really come to life over there to our West. Special thanks to both Tina and Allison for all you continue to do. Kudos to Tom and team down in Tuscaloosa at the Tuscaloosa/West Alabama Section as well, that section continues to be a strong hold for the Chapter, and we appreciate everyone’s associated efforts. Just to sum up this first paragraph, I’d like to leave us with one word – GRATITUDE. Rest assured, I’m thankful for each of you.
We’ve had some great times in the past couple months with after hours events, training meetings, mini-expos, and more. If you didn’t get a chance to participate, you’ll have more opportunities approaching in the not-so-distant future. In fact, we’ll have our first chance on the 20th for a lunch meeting at the AGC building in Birmingham at 11:30. Again, please try to attend in person if your schedule allows it.
We are also finalizing the details of the upcoming Regional PDC to be held in Tuscaloosa this year at the Bryant Conference Center. We’ll be discussing and posting links in the very near future for signing up. You actually may have seen something already. This will be a great opportunity to network on a more regional front.
As always, let’s all remember to make an effort to improve ourselves as well as in assisting others to grow. Thanks again for everything you do in relation to safety.
See you soon…
– Paul
